Editors Matthews, Sapers, and Gerba address the problem of produce contamination and its potential solutions in four sections, with new chapters and revisions in the second edition. The first section covers the scope and causes of contamination, including microbe persistence on plants, manure, bioaerosol, irrigation water, and wildlife contamination, as well as identification of contamination sources. Specific contaminated commodities are discussed in part 2, including vegetables, melons, sprouted seeds, tomatoes, tree fruits and nuts, and berries, with specific risk reduction strategies. Part 3 discusses prevention around the point of harvest and the regulatory environment in the US, Europe, Mexico, and Central America. The final section discusses technology for pathogen reduction from conventional washing and sanitizing to high-tech intervention, and concludes with recommendations.

Understanding the causes and contributing factors leading to outbreaks of food-borne illness associated with contamination of fresh produce is a worldwide challenge for everyone from the growers of fresh-cut produce through the entire production and delivery process. The premise of The Produce Contamination Problem is that when human pathogen contamination of fresh produce occurs, it is extremely difficult to reduce pathogen levels sufficiently to assure microbiological safety with the currently available technologies. A wiser strategy would be to avoid crop production conditions that result in microbial contamination to start.

These critical, problem-oriented chapters have been written by researchers active in the areas of food safety and microbial contamination during production, harvesting, packing and fresh-cut processing of horticultural crops, and were designed to provide methods of contamination avoidance. Coverage includes policy and practices in the United States, Mexico and Central America, Europe, and Japan.

  • Addresses food-borne contaminations from a prevention view, providing proactive solutions to the problems
  • Covers core sources of contamination and methods for identifying those sources
  • Includes best practice and regulatory information
